Im not using Gaia green on my autos

No but besides that is it salts and cheleated and what is it made of or derived from ? I bet it's like maxsea or flora nova.
no i believe its straight raw organic material that they blend. its not water soluble like maxsea more like pre blended amendments. here the ingredients from 4-4-4Screenshot_2015-05-22-21-11-02.png

Ive never brewed teas but im open to suggestions on how i would make a tea. This is just my first attempt at organics. I just bought 5kg jug of molasses too and i have a gallon of alaska fish emulsion if i can add some that to the brew aswell.
Edit: and I still have 2 litres of EWC left.

I think that's how I'm gonna do mine when it comes to flower stage of
My girls thanks for the tips boys I tell u the truth to spend 150 take make your own mix and on top three to 6 weeks to cook I'm in Canada summer starts June its need to be planted by May r winter long march is where it end but still not hot enough to cook the soil outside so this product has every thing sub cools soil has or roots organic soil has and it's cheap and u don't have to wait 6 weeks to cook and u can make compost tea out of it to so to me it's worth it its my first time so I'm going easy half of what the labels says I'll 2 tbs instead of four then tea it up or top drees it and do it every two weeks

i thought he ment the rock powder NOT the dry fert!! sorry diregard my post:0heheheh
put 2 pounds comfry in 5 gallons rainwater and make a fermented plant extract . feed to flowering plants 2 tablesoopn pergallon
I've got an FPE going on a few days now, consisting of a mix of dandelion and plantain. I've read some controversy as how long to ferment. Can you ferment too much and get too many anaerobic bacteria and possibly do some damage or the stinkier and sludgier the better? I ran one article that said all the useful minerals had been transferred from the material to the water in a few days, though comfrey took a lot longer. Very interested in this!

I have used the pro-mix in the past but found it a little hot. I currently use the #1 as a starter for seedlings then use it as a base for the soil in their forever homes. The #1 has better moisture retention than the #4.

I ammend the #1 60%/40% with compost and a healthy amount of bone meal for transplant. I have good success doing it this way.

The past year I had only ever run into light Mg deficiency so I water with an Epsom salt supplement every 3 weeks. No problems have arisen.

IME you cannot over ferment . BUT if you add sugar or smell alcohol HOLD UP... and think first 10PPM od alcohol can KILL your plant ... rant over ... LOVE the FPE's
